Spaniel Trial Results for the
2025-26 Season

Our first spaniel stake of the season; our Novice Cocker trial held at Place Farm, Taverham by kind permission of Henry Darling.

Henry and his team put on a fantastic day for us, with game coming well to hand throughout the trial. 

The dogs were put through their paces with a mixture of cover, starting off in mustard cover crop, before moving to marshland and a thick hedgerow all of which held a good mix of game. We then moved into another cover crop before finishing in a lovely bracken wood.

The trial was judged by Martin Deacon (A2242), Martyn Elliot (B3681), Brody Chequer (NP) and David Gosling (NP)

Results as follows:

First place and Guns' Choice awarded to Heathcroft Highflyer owned and handled by Andy Waterhouse
